My name is Dries Cronje, and I had the same problem when I started taking nature pictures. My passion for nature photography was bordering on obsession (it still is). Yet, I struggled to get professional quality photos. I learned the hard way as I went along. Now I have created this website to help my fellow nature photographers. To make YOUR life easier!

The aim of this site is to help you become the nature photographer you know you can be. It will enable you to get those "winning shots" more often. You will experience the joy of being successful at what you love most, all the time.

And who knows, maybe you can one day become a full-time professional nature photographer like me. Trust me, it is well worth the effort..

I provide detailed information on the main fields of nature photography, including why, where, how and what. You'll also learn how to select and buy quality nature photography equipment.

I live in South Africa and absolutely love Africa and its wildlife. I have a whole section of this website promoting Southern Africa. I cover the options you have for visiting Southern Africa on a safari, should you wish to visit this nature photography heaven. I also tell you all you need to know on how to take award-winning nature pictures while on safari.

On my Photo Safaris website, I tell you all you need to know if you are planning to visit Africa on a Photo Safari. I also give more information on the African Photography Safari section of this website.

I am not currently adding content to this website. Why? Due to hard work on my new venture - BookDisciple.com. This website reviews and recommends trustworthy Christian books.

I also have a blog called Carbon Copy that shares stories from my daily life in Africa, and tells readers about my passion to promote Christian literature.

I have a Nature Pictures section on the site showcasing some of my favourite pictures. I hope that when you look at these pictures you will feel inspired. Inspired to follow your dream, inspired to help preserve nature, inspired to join me in my quest to promote Africa and the science of natural history photography.

I sincerely hope that your visit to my site is a pleasant and useful experience that will empower you as a nature photographer. Feel free to follow one of the links below to the main sections of this website...
